Pacquiao Cherry Picking Exposed Chris Algieri (EGO RANT),

[IMDAZED]

Not long till he goes into survival mode and were looking at Pac-Mosley 2.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Or he's going to get set up and then blasted with something he didn't see. And he'll show heart and rise and get blasted again until his face is a bloody mess and the ref rescues him.

pac is not a natural welterweight. algieri is more of a natural welterweight than pac.

Kind of hard to say that when Algeiri has been at 140. His body type may fill out more naturally into the bigger weight classes as he progress through his career but right now he's nothing more then a JWW.

algieri's height, reach, movement, tight defense, stiff jabs, timing, counter punching, heart, will to surive and push through, etc.

i don't think you've watched much of algieri.

Don't make me laugh. I've seen Algieri fight live and on TV. You sure know what you're talking about.

Pacquaio is actually a better boxer than this guy.

He's a better counter puncher and has better timing aswell.

He could outbox him if he wanted with relative ease.

[Divine Hammer]

The problem is you're naming things that don't exist.

If Algeri was good at those things you listed he'd have a shot. Problem is he doesn't.

hahahahahaahah really? algieri doesn't have good movement? defense? stiff jabs and DOUBLE JABS?? etc. please go watch algieri's fights.

I see a mismatch style-wise too. Who has beaten Manny Pacquiao that fights in any way similar to this guy? I think people are just reaching. Algieri is out of his league, on paper and in the ring. And if he beats Manny, it's because the old man showed his age.

When was the last time Pacquiao fought a guy with a significant height and reach advantage who boxes and moves like Chris? I cant think of any examples especially in the past 5-8 years. So I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that the style match up is a mismatch in favor of Pac.

I also think Pacquiao is an old fighter and has declined greatly.

i don't even think you brought up any good arguments as to why algieri is a bad opponent. NONE. so you're the weirdo. not me.

Algieri didn't earn a fight with Pacquaio. The only reason he's fighting Pacquaio is because Top Rank has very limited options within their stable. Otherwise, this fight would not be happening. If Pacquaio gets past Algieri, you can expect Jesse Vargas to get a shot next.

And although Algieri didn't earn it, stylistically, I think it's a bad fight for Pacquaio.

[IMDAZED]

I agree.those straight lefts will be landing flush at some point and then Algeiri will be in trouble. I expect a lot of running lol.

did that become some kind of style that Manny Pacquiao can't handle?

[Jsmooth9876]

He was.

But the closeness of both fights are clearly similar.

Bradley dominated the mid rounds against Provodnikov.

Both fights were very close.

Oh I agree, both close fights. I thought the Bradley Provo fight was very easy to score. When Bradley moved and boxed he dominated every round. For some reason he mixed it up way too often in that fight. Thought he learned a lesson, then he tried the same stuff Vs Manny in part 2 after looking great against JMM.weird...

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Or he's going to get set up and then blasted with something he didn't see. And he'll show heart and rise and get blasted again until his face is a bloody mess and the ref rescues him.

I think after the first few rounds he'll go i to survival mode.

Maybe get dropped early, then run for the rest of the fight.
